Hey Bum, is that your real pic? You're not as ugly as I thought...

It must just be "The Shoe"...and then there's the Othershoe.

My idea originally in picking that name was like when something happens and you're waiting for the other shoe to drop. Of course the first shoe could have been called Fred or something I guess?

And yes I meant to say "we" and not "you". So I'll use myself as the first example.

I started that thread about the congressman and his abortion ideas yesterday. And where I became so disagreeable in that discussion is when I said everyone who has a different opinion than me are just a bunch of "sheeple".
What a stupid thing to say. All that does is create bad feelings and accomplishes nothing else. If you disagree with me, that doesn't make you "sheeple" or any other insulting name, you just disagree with me is all.
I should have given my opinions and my ideas without finding the need to insult you.

And then that thread, like so many here, became another exercise in name-calling. And as the thread wore on, the name-calling and the insulting each other became worse and worse.

I can't change the behaviour of anyone here except myself. But from now on I'm going to try to avoid this with my posts. It's just childish.

I'm kinda partial to three handed logic...

On the one hand, on the other hand, and in the gripping hand...

If people are passionate about something they are going to get tough on those they disagree with. I am glad you are taking steps to curb yourself, forgive us if we don't that's the least you can do.
When I get my feelings hurt I go off lick my wounds and try to learn from the situation.
It's like homosexuality. I have actually moderated my opinion on it. Vortex is the one that changed it though. His matter of fact honesty about his world makes me see that not all people in that lifestyle are in your face over the top parading porn peddlers. Most are just people wanting to find love and companionship. Who the hell am I to say that is wrong when that affects me not at all ?

I'm glad I was able to help you moderate your opinion. I have no desire to march in a gay pride parade or watch one. LOL

I choose VectorMan because of the type of digital art I create. It's called vector art when working with Adobe Illustrator. But, Vortex is pretty cool!

I always thought a woman should be able to grow an additional arm for every child she bore. It only seemed reasonable! Cute monster.
